"Am I having my senior moment?"

"Yes, ten years ago I was....(hmmm...) I could not remember, uh! am I having a senior moment?" A 86 years old woman was trying to tell me the places she had visited but was unable to recall it. Nonetheless, she said this, "enjoy the precious moment of you life, while you are young." She gently walked with a cane as she smiled to me. What a joy to have an opportunity to be nurtured with the "words of wisdom" from a senior citizen.
